You all have been dragging Nude Africa Nazi guy so amazingly well, all I can offer is that I now feel like his 2021 remarks about me are now, in retrospect, honestly a highlight of my entire career xitter.cf/RightWingWatch/status/…
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson attacks @gregmepstein, the president of Harvard's chaplain organization, for being an atheist: "He has no wisdom. His wisdom won't begin until he falls down on his knees, repents for his sins, and asks Jesus Christ to come into his heart."
Off Twitter f/2 years, did I miss anything? ...Popping back to say @JaredHuffman 📙 NO PROPHETS =must read. An expose of Christian Nationalism, one story about a family member of his made me GASP. Our @HarvardHumanist talk w/him tmrw has a few tix left! eventbrite.com/e/congressman…
The NO PROPHETS book tour continues! Here's the schedule for September – will you join me at a stop near you?
We have been having such fascinating conversations at these book events and I'm thrilled to be able to discuss this topic with so many incredible moderators.
Tickets here: linktr.ee/realjaredhuffman
I talked to @Bernstein @nytimes about how tech has become the world's most powerful religion, and how AI companies are actively attempting to replace God. And it was good.
(And you're AIGod-damned right I'm reposting this from the other site.)

"Nice" to see that here, too, there are bots auto-replying immediately to any request for donations. What would these sites be without AI to help grifters prey on the vulnerable?
Awhile since posting here but Siwatu—best man at my wedding and one of the best humans I've known—lost everything but his family, passport, and pet turtle in the fires destroying much of Altadena, CA last week. I'm running the @gofundme. Please donate!!!

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there.
Biden should commute death penalty for 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel student debt via EO & force Trump to revive it, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism!

Have we reached 'peak understanding'? Before AI, human knowledge steadily grew. Now, AI's complexity may shrink the % we grasp. As understanding declines, people may turn to religion to fill the void. @DanBarcay & I discuss this with @gregmepstein on Your Undivided Attention.
Some of Silicon Valley's most vocal evangelists are promising heaven on earth through AI. But what happens when technology becomes theology? Humanist chaplain @gregmepstein explores tech's divine aspirations and what they mean for humanity's future on this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention.

Boston University’s endowment is over $3.5 billion.
BU isn't accepting PhD students in humanities this year, blaming the union for requiring PhD students be paid what a full-time McDonalds crew member would make in Boston. insidehighered.com/news/admi…

Is technology a religion, a godlike system promising salvation and threatening of damnation? Yes, says @gregmepstein. @PublishersWkly talks with Epstein about his new book "Tech Agnostic," God, and the charm of being agnostic. bit.ly/3YyXxA4
For @TIME, I went as deep into the muck as I could:
"We are not chatbots, optimized for achievement and sent to conquer this country and then colonize the stars through infinite data accumulation. We are human beings who care deeply about one another because we care about ourselves. Our very existence, as people capable of loving and being loved, is what makes us worthy of the space we occupy, here in this country, on this planet, and on any other planet we may someday find ourselves inhabiting."
